Introduction

THE SUB-REGIONAL OPERATING GROUP (SROG)

The Sub-Regional Operating Group, or SROG, was formed in 1979 pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement (SROG Agreement) between the cities of Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe, and the Town of Gilbert to jointly own and operate the 23rd and 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plants and their interceptor systems. Gilbert sold its purchased capacity in the system to Mesa in 1981. Physical changes to the system were completed late 1995. With these changes there are now five current SROG members.

91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant

The original 91st Avenue WWTP, a five gallon per day (mgd) cooperative venture between Glendale and Phoenix, was built in 1958. This plant was later replaced with a 45 mgd plant which was subsequently expanded in 1969, in 1976, in 1984, 1989, and 2010. The plant has a treatment capacity up to 230 million gallons a day, with an average daily flow of 140 million gallons. The 91st Avenue WWTP consistently meets or exceeds all environmental standards in producing water that is reused for cooling water at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and for the Buckeye irrigation district. In 1994, as part of a research project to determine if wetlands could polish effluent from the 91st Avenue WWTP so it could meet upcoming wastewater treatment regulations, the city, in cooperation with SROG and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, created the Tres Rios Constructed Wetlands Demonstration Project. Another goal of the project was to restore the natural wildlife environment of the Salt River in that area. Because of the success achieved with the demonstration wetlands, a full scale wetland was designed and construction was completed with steady wastewater flow introduced in the spring of 2010.

23rd Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant

The original 10 mgd 23rd Avenue WWTP, built in 1932, was expanded in 1946, and again in 1962. An expansion to 57 mgd was completed in December 1994 and an average daily flow of 35 million gallons. Although the 23rd Avenue WWTP currently services only the City of Phoenix, it was part of the SROG system until it was removed in 1983 through an amendment to the SROG Agreement.


Construction of the SROG interceptor system, which includes the 99th Avenue Interceptor, the Salt River Outfall Sewer, and the Southern Avenue Interceptor, began in the early 1960s, and was essentially completed in 1987. Intergovernmental agreements exist between SROG members and non-SROG jurisdictions which allow third parties to discharge to the Multi-City system. Agreements exist between the following jurisdictions:

City of Phoenix - City of Mesa - Town of Gilbert City of Phoenix - City of Scottsdale - Town of Paradise Valley City of Phoenix - City of Tempe - Town of Guadalupe

In addition to the above sewer service agreements, the Cities of Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix, and Tolleson jointly own and operate the 99th Avenue Interceptor, a major trunk sewer in the west Valley serving both the 91st Avenue and Tolleson WWTPs. Each of these agreements contains requirements for all parties to implement appropriate Industrial Pretreatment Programs within their own jurisdictions. This annual report summarizes the activities of the pretreatment programs of the Cities of Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and the Town of Gilbert.

Central Ave., ca. 1908 Photo from Library of Congress

Historical Phoenix After the Civil War, stories of gold in Central Arizona attracted fortune hunters to the Wild West. In 1865, the army built Camp McDowell to protect the settlers, and ranchers and businessmen soon followed. In 1867 Jack Swilling, then a resident of Wickenburg, realized that the valley around the Salt River could be excellent land for farming if there was water. He organized the Swilling Irrigation Canal Company and, using some of the ancient canals built by the Hohokam Indians around 1500 A.D., brought water from the Salt River to irrigate the land. A small community, Swilling’s Mill, formed about four miles east of the current downtown Phoenix. In 1868, Darrell Dupa suggested the name of Phoenix, and the town was recognized on May 4, 1868, when Yavapai County formed an election precinct for Phoenix. A Post Office was established on June 15, 1868, and Phoenix began its rise from the ashes of the ancient Indian civilization, just as the Phoenix bird rose from the ashes of its nest. On October 20, 1870, an official town site of 320 acres was chosen and the first survey was completed the next month. On November 19, 1873 the official entry in the Florence Land Office listed the total cost of the Phoenix Town site as $550.00. Phoenix was incorporated in 1881, 31 years before the Arizona Territory became a state. Phoenix, already established as a political, business, and agricultural center for the territory, claimed the Territorial Capitol from Prescott in 1889. Arizona was granted Statehood in 1912, at which time Phoenix became the State Capitol. By this time Phoenix had a newspaper, an electric power station, electric trolley cars, a public library, and a railroad station. The 1900 census recorded Phoenix's population at 5,544. The City Charter under which Phoenix is presently governed was initially adopted in 1913.

Modern Day Phoenix With a water supply secured by completion of Roosevelt Dam in 1911, and home air conditioning in the early 1950’s, tremendous growth has come to Phoenix and the surrounding cities. Phoenix itself has grown from the 99th largest city with a population of 105,000 in 1950 to the 6th largest with a current population of 1,445,632. Phoenix is the center of the metropolitan area encompassed by Maricopa County and is situated 1,117 feet above sea level in the semi-arid Salt River Valley. The area is well known for its mild, sunny winters and hot summers, and receives average rainfall of seven inches annually. Most of the rivers in the surrounding area are dry year round, the result of upstream dams, which supply a large portion of the Valley's drinking water.


Phoenix covers more than 521 square miles and has a population of over 1.5 million, ranking it the sixth largest city in the country and the largest capital city in terms of population. Phoenix is a premier destination, with more than 300 sun-filled days a year and average temperature of 74.2 degrees. With an average age of 34, greater Phoenix is the fifth youngest metro region in the country with a diverse, well-educated labor force of over 2 million people. Greater Phoenix has consistently outpaced the U.S. population growth over the last 18 years. Projections show the region is expected to grow by nearly 60 percent by 2030, bringing the population to more than 6 million people.

Greater Phoenix is a $181 billion marketplace that serves as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurs by providing international access for aerospace, high-technology, bioscience, advanced business services and sustainable technologies companies. Global companies such as Honeywell Aerospace, Freeport McMoran, Avnet, and Republic Services call Phoenix home, while companies such as American Express, USAA, SUMCO Phoenix Corporation, Charles Schwab, and Mayo Clinic have major operations here.

Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix’s Copper Square, the Phoenix Convention Center hosts a myriad of international, national and regional conventions, trade shows, corporate meetings and consumer events, welcoming more than 1,050,000 guests annually. The convention center is within walking distance to a variety of downtown's exciting restaurants, top hotels, retail shops, and museums,


the US Airways Center home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury and Chase Field Ballpark home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and is less than seven miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The city's light rail system, which opened in December 2008, offers a fast and convenient transportation link from the airport to downtown Phoenix, with stops at the convention center and several downtown hotels.

Arts and cultural activities abound in Phoenix, with more than 20 museums in the metro area and numerous performing arts groups. A sampling of museums include the newly renovated and expanded Phoenix Art Museum, with more than 13,000 works of art including an impressive collection of Western art, a Chinese art selection and an extensive collection of contemporary work; the internationally renown Heard Museum of Anthropology and Primitive Arts, which houses more than 75,000 artifacts of Southwestern Indian culture; and the Arizona Science Center, with 350 hands-on exhibits, giant-screen theater and state-of-the-art planetarium.

Two City owned facilities, Phoenix Symphony Hall and Orpheum Theater - both of which are located in the heart of downtown Phoenix. In addition to hosting a robust schedule of traveling Broadway productions, world-renowned speakers, musical groups and corporate functions, these venues are home to several resident companies including Ballet Arizona, Phoenix Symphony and Arizona Opera. These venues create a positive economic impact for the city, support community efforts, and maximize activity for patrons and visitors in downtown Phoenix. Phoenix, Arizona continues to be one of the fastest growing cities and metropolitan areas in the United States and now covers 540 square miles with water and sewer services for over 400,000 homes, apartment complexes, large employers and industrial facilities and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Phoenix produces 109 billion gallons of potable water annually from six Water Treatment Plants and its two Wastewater Treatment Plants have the capacity to treat over 250 million gallons of wastewater per day from Phoenix and surrounding areas. The Phoenix climate allows for a wide range of recreational activities. More than 184 golf courses offer year-round opportunities on the links, and The Phoenix Open and the LPGA Turquoise Classic are among the five professional golf tournaments played in the area. With more than 1,130 tennis courts, 100 plus miles of hiking trails, numerous parks including the largest municipal part in the United States, South Mountain Park. Phoenix is an All-America City – for the fifth time. National Civic League judges chose the city as one of 10 winners of the prestigious, nationwide competition in 2009. Phoenix won the 1993 Carl Bertelsmann Prize, a prestigious international competition that recognized the best-run city government in the world. Phoenix, which shared the prize with Christchurch, New Zealand, was praised for it’s highly efficient and customer oriented programs.

Fun Facts

City Of Scottsdale

INTRODUCTION Scottsdale is located in the Salt River valley in central Arizona, just east of Phoenix, between

Carefree and Tempe. It is known for its extensive list of art galleries, specialty shops, golf

courses, hotels and resorts. It is a popular retirement/tourist community featuring numerous

cultural activities through the year.

Scottsdale was originally inhabited by Hohokam, a Native American tribe that lived in the region

from approximately 300 BC until the mid-to-late-15th century, farmed the land by developing the

largest known network of irrigation canals in pre-Columbian North America.

Under still-mysterious circumstances, the Hohokam disappeared around 1450 or 1500—with

theories ranging from climate change to plague to political strife. Pima Indians eventually came

into the area, and centuries later, European settlers ventured west to look for gold.

In 1888, U. S. Army Chaplain Winfield Scott purchased a 640-acre section of land extending

east from what is now Scottsdale Road and Indian School Road to Hayden Road, north to

Chaparral Road, west to Scottsdale Road, then south back to Indian School Road for the tidy

sum of $3.50 per acre. The ancient Hohokam canals were repaired and were used to irrigate

the fields and orchards and more families settled nearby and raised citrus, peaches, sweet

potatoes, wheat and peanuts.

The name “Scottsdale” was first officially used for the town in 1894. In 1896, the first

schoolhouse opened, and in 1897 came the first general store/post office. In 1895 Scott planted

olive trees around a citrus grove between what is now Scottsdale Road and Civic Center

Boulevard and Second Street and Osborn Road. In fact, a few of the trees still stand along Civic

Center Boulevard. In 1908 the Granite Reef Dam was constructed, followed by the completion

of the Roosevelt Dam in 1911, which transformed the Salt River Valley and paved the way for a

population boom for Scottsdale. The small market town appealed to families involved in the

agricultural industry, causing the population to grow slowly yet steadily between 1908 and 1933.

Scottsdale’s slogan, the “West’s Most Western Town,” was coined in 1947 by the Chamber of

Commerce as a conscience effort to promote its special identity as a link to the Old West and to

draw tourists. Scottsdale’s population exceeded 202,000 by the year 2000, and experienced a


corresponding boom in its tourism industry as new resorts were being built along Scottsdale

Road and farther north.

The tourism industry is Scottsdale's primary employer, accounting for 39% of the city's

workforce. Tourism is vital to Scottsdale; the city sees 8 million annual visitors who are attracted

to its 125 golf courses, 220 tennis courts, and more than 70 resorts and hotels including the

Four Seasons, Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, and the trendy “W” in downtown. Scottsdale also

boasts the highest number of resort spas per capita of any city in the U.S, earning the city a

national recognition as an ideal destination for relaxation.

The city's year-round warm weather is a great factor in its appeal, as many tourists from the

Midwest (known locally as "snowbirds") flood the community during the winter season, and

many also purchase second homes in the area. Scottsdale transforms into the state’s premiere

destination for special events every winter and into spring, hosting the PGA’s Waste

Management Phoenix Open (the best attended golf tournament in the world). WestWorld is the

home of several popular events including the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction and the All-

Arabian horse show. The month of March brings near-perfect weather and with it, the World

Champion San Francisco Giants to Scottsdale Stadium for spring training.

Mayo Clinic has one of its three major locations in Scottsdale, as well as a hospital. Mayo Clinic

in Scottsdale, Ariz., opened in 1987 as a premier academic medical center in the southwestern

United States where medical research and education are fully integrated with delivering the

highest-quality patient care.

Scottsdale is also a place for businesses to thrive. The Scottsdale Airpark, which opened in the

1960’s, is the second largest employment center in Arizona, boasting about 48,000 employees

in more than 2,000 businesses. Near its southern border is SkySong, a high tech innovation

center designed to help companies grow by providing services and programs facilitated by

Arizona State University.

Scottsdale is governed by a mayor and city council, all of whom are elected "at large" to

represent the entire city. A city manager is responsible for the executive leadership of the city

staff, as well as implementing council policies, developing programs and budgets to respond to

council goals, and ensuring that citizens receive effective and efficient city services.

Scottsdale’s Industrial Pretreatment Program, was approved by the U.S. Environmental

Protections Agency in 1983, and presently holds permits with six significant industrial users

(SIU’s). These industries are expected to meet all requirements listed within their Industrial

Pretreatment Programs. The City monitors each SIU quarterly to determine compliance with

discharge requirements. Additionally city staff inspects each SIU semiannually.

Industrial Users In Significant Noncompliance with Applicable Pretreatment Requirements In 2011

The Cities of Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe, and the Town of Gilbert, Arizona are responsible for implementing and operating industrial wastewater control (pretreatment) programs in each of their communities. Each program is designed to protect the wastewater treatment plants (POTW), the safety of personnel operating the wastewater collection system, and the environment form adverse impacts that may occur when toxic wastes are discharged into a wastewater collection system. Each municipality issues wastewater discharge permits to Industrial Users (Users) in their communities and are responsible for ensuring that they comply with respective local ordinances and federal regulations..

In accordance with the Federal Clean Water Act and the public participation requirements of 40 CFR 25 in the enforcement of the National Pretreatment Standards as defined by 40 CFR 402.8(f)2(viii), the Cities of Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe, and the Town of Gilbert, Arizona are hereby publishing the following list of Users in Significant Noncompliance(SNC) with applicable pretreatment requirements. This notice covers the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2011.

A User is in a state of SNC when violations meet one or more of the following:

A. Chronic violations (CSNC) of wastewater discharge limits defined here as those in which sixty-six percent or more of all of the measurements taken during a six-month period exceed (by any magnitude) the daily maximum limit or the average limit for the same pollutant parameter.

B. Technical Review Criteria violations (TRCSNC), defined here as those in which thirty-three percent or more of all of the measurements taken during a six-month period equal or exceed the product of the daily maximum limit or the average limit multiplied by the applicable TRC (TRC= 1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oil and grease; and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH).

C. Any other violation of a pretreatment effluent limit (daily maximum or long term average) that the POTW determines has caused alone or in combination with other discharges interference or pass through (including endangering the health of POTW personnel or the general public);

D. Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused imminent endangerment of human health, welfare or to the environment or has resulted in the POTW’s exercise of its emergency authority to halt or prevent such as discharge;

E. Failure to meet, within 90 days after the schedule date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in a permit or enforcement order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance;

F. Failure to provide within 30 days after the due date the required report such as a Baseline Monitoring Report, a 90 day compliance report, periodic self-monitoring reports, and reports on compliance with compliance schedules;

G. Failure to accurately report noncompliance; or H. Any other violation or group of violations, which the POTW determines will adversely affect the operation or implementation of the local pretreatment program.

Public participation and cooperation are important to a successful industrial pretreatment program. If you have comments or witness a situation that you believe may involve an illegal discharge of pollutants or hazardous material into a municipality’s sewer system, please immediately notify the appropriate municipality: Gilbert (480) 503-6411, Glendale (623) 930-4758, Mesa (480) 644-2131, Phoenix (602) 495-5926, Scottsdale (480) 391-5687, or Tempe (480) 350-2678.

City of Phoenix Other Activities The Environmental Services Division of the Water Services Department is responsible for implementing the City's Industrial Pretreatment Program (Program). The Division has been involved in a number of activities during the reporting year, which enhance the performance of the Industrial Pretreatment Program. Industrial Pretreatment Achievement Recognition The Annual Achievement Recognition Breakfast for the companies in perfect compliance for all of 2011 was again not held during 2012 due to budget constraints. Companies that maintained perfect compliance with pretreatment requirements during the year ending December 31, 2011 were presented plaques and certificates at their facility by a representative from the Industrial Pretreatment Section. Permittee names were published on the City of Phoenix, Environmental Services Division website in March 2012. Industrial Pretreatment Compliance Academy Since its inception 17 years ago, our Industrial Pretreatment Compliance Academy (Academy) continues teaching our permittees the basics of what they need to know to comply with the City’s Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) requirements. The City of Phoenix and the regulated permittees developed the academy in-house. It now consists of six, two to three-hour classes which educate the permittee about IPP permit requirements and how to meet them. During 2012 a Stormwater Overview class was added as a sixth class. Each class addresses different topics. Although designed to stand-alone from one another, completion of all six classes is highly recommended. Our "faculty" consists of Water Quality Inspectors who are responsible for working with our industries and technical staff. The faculty developed the entire curriculum, teaching materials, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, exercises, and assembled or built the materials used in demonstrations. The same Inspectors who work with and know the permittee also teach classes. The Academy is a free, voluntary program open to any employee of any industrial permittee or state municipality. Students are provided a certificate of completion at the end of each class. The classes are organized by topic and are described below: The Wastewater Discharge Permit - Run Time: 2 Hours

This class explains what the Wastewater Discharge Permit says and what it means; essentially "translating" it for the student. Permit topics include: Definitions, Discharge Limits, Self-Monitoring Requirements, Record Keeping, Authorized Signatory, Notification Requirements, Compliance Schedules, Toxic Organic Management Plan (TOMP), and Slug Control Plan (SCP).

Wastewater Compliance Sampling - Run Time: 2 Hours

This class discusses the different kinds of wastewater samples required, methodology for collection of REPRESENTATIVE compliance samples, which sample bottles to use, how samples must be handled and stored, how measuring wastewater flow affects sampling, and demonstrates how to complete the paperwork associated with collecting compliance samples.

Laboratory Analytical Issues - Run Time: 3 Hours

Because most permittees contract with a laboratory to analyze their compliance wastewater samples for them, the focus of this class is to help the permittee become a more sophisticated consumer of laboratory services. This class includes a tour of the City’s in-house laboratory that "follows" a sample from the sample receiving area through the analysis, and shows the steps the laboratory chemists take to produce a numerical result. The lecture portion of the class discusses the types of services laboratories can provide, what information the permittee

should provide to and receive from their laboratory, and explains each part of the laboratory report. Class size is very limited, but it is offered twice on the same day.

Enforcement - Run Time: 2 Hours

This class explains how action or inaction on the part of the permittee might result in violations, and then discusses what the City's enforcement response might be. Notices of Violation, Show Cause Hearings, Civil Penalties, Pretreatment Settlement Agreements, Significant Non-Compliance status, Repeat Violators, and Good Faith Efforts are also discussed.

Stormwater Compliance Overview - Run Time: 2 Hours

This class gives an overview of stormwater regulations, including the City of Phoenix (COP) City Code Chapter 32 C 'Stormwater Protection Ordinance', COP Stormwater Management Program and stormwater pollution prevention practices (Best Management Practices (BMPs)).

Pollution Prevention- Run Time: 2 Hours

This class discusses ways permittees can implement pollution prevention measures in their own facilities which save resources and money associated with waste treatment and disposal. Industry-specific pollution prevention case studies are provided as examples. An interactive game at the end of the class reinforces the lesson.

Staff Attendance and Participation in Conferences, Workshops and Training Group Training: Industrial Pretreatment Program regularly participate in the USEPA Pretreatment 101 Series Webcasts, In-House Inspector Training, and AZ Water conferences and workshops.

The entire division participates in Training Briefs, such as Hazard Communication, Heat Stress, Security Threat Levels, Emergency Response Plan, Fire Prevention, Bomb Threats, Reporting Suspicious Incidents, Information Technology Security, Sexual Harassment, Workplace Violence Prevention, and Prescription Safety Eye Protection. Individual Training: Division staff members continue to actively take both personal growth and productivity courses from various educational and training resources. To broaden their education some inspectors take self-study courses (developed by California State University, Sacramento) for wastewater or water treatment operations certification.


Wastewater Monitoring Program The Wastewater Monitoring Section collects sample for the following purposes:

� Industrial user compliance � Wastewater treatment plant compliance monitoring, including biosolids � Groundwater monitoring at the wastewater treatment plants and recharge facilities � Water reclamation plant compliance monitoring � Local Discharge limit calculation � Sewer user charge verification (sewer billings) � Sewer capacity flow studies � Multi-City sewer user charges and compliance � Special projects, studies and emergency response

Sampling crews frequently conduct sampling operations in hazardous locations such as confined spaces, streets where traffic conditions must be considered, and in the Salt and Gila Rivers. Sophisticated, computerized sampling and measuring equipment in addition to manual sample collection techniques are used to collect samples, which are then analyzed by the City's Water Services Laboratory. On November 6 and 7, 2012 staff both attended and presented at the “2012 AZ-Water 2-Day Pretreatment Training Workshop”. Additionally, as part of this workshop, staff organized and presented a half-day hands-on field demonstration of an industrial pretreatment inspection and wastewater compliance sampling. The hands-on field demonstration was held at a permitted industrial facility, Arizona MPP, 230 South 49th Avenue in Phoenix. Approximately 75 municipal and state employees through the state of Arizona attended. Staff demonstrated inspection entry procedures; records review; and inspection of manufacturing processes, pretreatment systems, and permittee self-monitoring procedures. Staff demonstrated field equipment such as autosamplers, flow meters, batteries, and sample collection techniques. Staff displayed pH, conductivity, turbidity and chlorine meters along with log books and standard operating procedures. Confined space equipment and air meters were displayed and demonstrated to students. Workshop attendees had the opportunity to observe staff setting up sampling equipment at the compliance sampling location. The workshop was a great success!

Five Star Safety Program The Water Services Department is committed to providing a safe working environment for all of our employees. We strongly believe nothing is more important than the health, safety, and well being of our employees and are determined to reduce the incidents of employee injury or illness. To help reach our goal of zero accidents, we have implemented the Five Star Health and Safety Management Program.


To achieve our occupational health and safety objectives, we as managers are committed to the following safety policy:

At Phoenix Water Services, we believe that all accidents, injuries, and near miss incidents are preventable. To meet our vision of zero accidents and a “Five Star” Safety Program rating, we provide our employees with guidance, resources, training, and a positive safety culture. We recognize that managers and supervisors must be leaders in preventing injuries by establishing safe work environments and following up immediately on any unsafe conditions or actions. We are committed to having a health and safety record that makes us proud.

During 2012 the Water Services Department achieved its Fifth Star. Coordination With Other Pretreatment Programs Phoenix continued to provide counsel and guidance to the Pretreatment Programs of the contributing jurisdictions during 2012. Multi-city coordination for purposes of encouraging compliance with federal requirements and consistency of implementation was accomplished through monthly multi-city meetings attended by representatives from each Program, as well as through periodic meetings with individual Program staff. Phoenix personnel along with members from the other SROG cities continue the monthly sampling program at all 14 Metering Stations. This sampling program provides representative information about the quality of wastewater discharged to the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Enforcement Activities To Involve and Inform the Public In addition to publication of Industrial Users having a status of Significant Noncompliance during the reporting year, the City used several types of legal instruments designed to bring Significant Industrial Users back into compliance. The City continued to conduct Show Cause Hearings and collection of monetary penalties from permittees which violated pretreatment requirements during the year. A summary of these enforcement activities which identify the permittees, the nature of the violations, published Pretreatment Settlement Agreements, and any monetary penalties associated with those actions follows on the next page.
